Makes sense, America's national symbol is an eagle. I for one hope that they take it from the Native American point of view, since that would be fun. Besides, we'll also be playing as Desmond a lot more, in New York I think (though i REALLY hope not in first person....ever again). Personally, I think that after this arc is closed, they need a new main "descendant" and they should explore times/places like Russia, Feudal Japan, Ancient Egypt, or Ancient Aztecs. WW2 would also make an interesting story. I'm just saying they need to open it up a bit more to more cultures and keep evolving the gameplay. As long as they NEVER do first person again.
